MICROMO announces the next generation of motion controllers
Updated July 18, 2016 with new links || MICROMO launches the new MC3/MCS motion control family. The new controllers are optimized for use with FAULHABER motor technologies, offer electronics for simple operation with state-of-the-art interfaces for multi-axis applications and provide a motion control system solution with the most compact integration into industrial grade housing. These high […]
MICROMO Launches New IER3 AND IERS3 Optical Encoders from FAULHABER
MICROMO is pleased to announce the new high precision IER3 and IERS3 optical encoders from FAULHABER. Both encoders deliver 2 channel quadrature signals and an additional index signal. The encoders are highly precise, thanks to the optical measuring principle. This measuring principle gives these encoders a strong edge in terms of accuracy and signal quality […]
Two positioning components speed OEM product development
by Robert Gloeckner, Advanced Engineering Group, MICROMO Innovative components help OEMs revolutionize designs. In fact, some original equipment can now benefit from zero-backlash actuators and integrated gearhead encoders. These give designers multiple options for demanding applications. Performance, cost and size requirements for motion applications vary widely. In some cases, performance trumps all and the budget […]
Stepper motor perfect for compact drives
The new FAULHABER FDM0620 series stepper motor from MICROMO is a high-performance option for compact drives. All components (including connections) are in a housing 9.7 mm long and 6 mm in diameter. With this combination of minimal space requirements and maximum power, reliability and production quality, the FAULHABER Group continues its leadership in micro-motors and expands its family of stepper motors in […]
Tiny brushless dc motor packs a punch with torque density
FAULHABER’s brushless dc 3274 BP4 is a servomotor with incredible torque density, measuring 32 mm in diameter and 74 mm in length, but with a continuous torque of 165 mNm. It weighs just under 320 grams, half the weight of conventional motors with comparable power. The four-pole brushless dc servomotor is for applications in which high power and dynamic start/stop […]
Powerful new drive electronics for stepper motors
Searching the multitude of available programmable motion controllers for one that is ideal for micro stepper motors with phase currents of sometimes less than 100 mA was once a real challenge. The new MCST 3601 series, developed from the cooperation between FAULHABER and Trinamic GmbH (the motion controller specialist for stepper motors), offers the solution. […]
A First in Space History – Rosetta Space Probe Lands on Comet after Ten Years of Travel
At the end of May 2014, the Rosetta space probe moved into an orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in order to, map its surface and prepare for the landing of Philae. This ballistic lander, weighing 100 kg, landed successfully on the comet on November, 12th 2014. The probe is powered by FAULHABER DC motors to […]
MICROMO Launches the FAULHABER FDM0620 Series
With the new FDM0620 series, MICROMO presents a high performance FAULHABER stepper motor with minimal size. Setting new standards for compact drive systems, all components (including connections) are in a housing that measures just 9.7 mm in length and 6 mm in diameter. With this combination of minimal space requirements and maximum power, reliability and […]
MICROMO’s new FAULHABER IEH2-4096 Integrated Encoder—Best in its Class
The new FAULHABER IEH2-4096 integrated encoder offers higher resolution, an expanded operating temperature range and improved speed control, especially in the low speed range. The new model lengthens the motor by just 1.4 mm and can be combined with numerous precious metal commutated DC micro motors. Because these are used in very small machines and […]
